Scientists have discovered that plants themselves produce many poisonous chemicals for defense against insects. But insects have developed ways of dealing with them. Guess how many years have the insects been eating plants. The number itself will scare you. In fact, insects have been eating plants for as many as 250 million years. Now insects are using these same mechanisms to deal with man-made poisons—insecticides. This is why resistance of insects to insecticides has developed so rapidly.
What should be done? Scientists studying the problem suggest that farmers use less insecticides. At the moment, farmers regularly spray crops as a precaution against problems that are caused by large numbers of pests. They should, instead, spray only where pests have actually been seen. Secondly, farmers could use a combination of two or three insecticides at once. To survive, the insects would need to become resistant to two or more insecticides at the same time.
The most surprising suggestion, perhaps, is that at certain times of the year, farmers should actually try to attract new insects onto the crops they are trying to protect. The new insects will mate with those which survived from a certain kind of insecticide and will lessen the latter’s resistance to it.
Scientists hope that these and other measures will postpone the day when farmers and scientists will have to stand by while new super-bugs which may be resistant to all poisons invade our farms and devour our crops.
选项
A、Insects are the most adaptable creatures.

C、Insects will some day devour all plants on the Earth.
D、Insects have developed resistance to both botanical and artificial poison rapidly.
答案
D
解析
What can be inferred from the passage?
四个选项都是关于昆虫的叙述,由此可以推断,本问题考查的内容可能是关于昆虫的行为或者状态。科学家希望义中提到的措施可以延缓庄稼面临新型的肆虐虫灾的侵害:Scientist hope that these and other measures will postpone...our farms and devour our crops. 可见昆虫对生态的杀虫剂和人工杀虫剂的抵抗力都是增长得十分迅猛的。故正确答案为D)。
